Goodbye Toowoomba, hello Hervey Bay. It was a foggy start to the day in Toowoomba, but by the time we went out for breakfast the weather was warm and sunny. We drove past the flowers displays and went shopping at Harold's Finishing Touches - my most favourite shop in the whole world. Check him out on Insta. We went through Kingaroy to see the painted silos but they were on a long detour so we didn't, however the place smells of Peanut Butter. OMG. You could almost eat the air. Then to our main destination for the holiday, we arrived in Hervey Bay late afternoon, just in time to see the sunset from the Urangan Pier and out for dinner.

Lots of shady roads which was really nice as the temperature was getting hotter.
Past the turn off to Bunya Mountains National Park.
Amazing huge cactus plants growing at the side of the road.
Kingaroy Peanut Factory. It smelt SO amazing.
We watched the gliders being towed out. We sat in the shade while we tackled the GPS.
We drove past the Peanut Van - we are really restrained and didn't buy any.

After we booked into our accommodation we had to have a little wander around and stretch our legs.
The statue at the beginning of the pier is called 'Duo'.
